killing hosties

[maynard]

? hosties have block on, how are people hiding in them?

[brett friggin favre]

they do not, you go right through them

[maynard]

how long has it been like that? block has always been on for them in the past... and as someone who only plays T, nor ever camps the hostages, I never noticed this.

[brett friggin favre]

been like that for a while...i honestly cannot remember block being on. i took some time off in there but yeah.

might also be that i didn't pay attention. but i've seen it happening with increasing frequency in the last week or so.

[maynard]

ive never seen them not have it on... and ive been playing for 3 years lol... like I said I don't play CT, nor ever guard the hosties as I play aggressive.

I'm quite sure this was done recently. apparently zero did this intentionally, I'll look into it... wouldn't surprise me though as if you hide in a hostie and shoot, you shoot the hostie taking money loss, so I can see zero being ok with that trade off.

Should no longer work starting next map change. Also the no block will apply to hosties now in the wcs server.

yeah, zero did this intentionally a few months back as I thought.

Maynard, block was turned off for hostages about 1 month ago because many people were getting stuck in the hostages, making it impossible for them to move.

so back to the original question: hiding in hosties every round, legit strategy or fun at others' expense to the point of punishment?
